Apple TV has assembled an impressive ensemble of actors for 12 12 12, its new heist thriller focused on an elaborate bank robbery. The series features a few familiar faces and international stars, with Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan leading the cast.
The eight-episode series follows a disgraced FBI agent and an American career criminal as they get into a dangerous game of cat and mouse across Europe.
